part of the morally ambiguous crowd! alex was born in '84 and was seperated from her family the following year to be "raised" by the government. i haven't decided if she was forced into a training regime after her powers flourished (earth manipulation & enhanced strength). that probably will be the case and she's now learning what it means not to be stuck. she has freedom but doesn't quite know what she wants to do with it - outside of trying to track down any family.
personality wise, she's a major deflector. the further away she is from any spotlight, the better. she's trying to work through a lot of things mentally, on her own, and its easier to do that with keeping people one sarcastic jest and an arm's length away. although, its easy for her to be empathetic or try to be towards people to help them out.
